The Blue-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva) is a parrot whose distribution extends over northeastern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern Argentina (Forshaw 1977, Darrieu 1983). Populations have declined in recent years, especially as a result of habitat destruction and over exploitation by pet trade (Bucher and Martella 1988, Bucher et al. 1992, Beissinger and Bucher 1992, Notes and Yzurieta 1994). This species is locally extinct in certain areas of southern Argentina; nevertheless, small populations survive in some isolated forest patches, such as in the Chancani Reserve, province of Cordoba (Bucher et al. 1992, Fernandez-Juricic et al. 1998).
